Additional Information: This is an etching by artist Salvador Dali created in 1975. The piece is part of the Surrealist art movement and shows a simple landscape with a skeleton head in the distance and curved yellow skeleton bones moving forward in perspective toward the viewer. Various black or detailed figures seem to walk towards the skeleton and one rides a brown horse and is dressed in a red coat riding into the distance. It is signed in pencil on the bottom and is signed "EA", which stands for épreuve d'artiste.  This means the etching was an artist's proof and was for the artist's personal collection.
